"This gentle, good-hearted person, who welcomed his first-born son into the world only a few months before, failed the personality test in a biased, deceitful and manipulative police investigation, and sacrificed his freedom in a moment of weakness, to the hands of cruel interrogators who tortured his soul for days," she stated. "They lied to him about evidence they had supposedly found, deprived him of his basic needs and twisted people's testimonies in order to tie my brother to this awful murder.""
